John and Cece Lyrics

Dust on the steeple, warry-eyed people

Filling the streets with dreams and mistakes

City life leaves you wearied and green too

Nobody needs you but everyone takes

Day in, day out

Signs say "stay in," "stay out"

John and Cece make it look easy

Bread in the morning and songs in the evening

Up in the hills where the air gets lighter

And the sounds of the freeway taste

Like the waves they catch on weekends

I keep their home fit while they're away watering their children

Finding magic hidden everyday in love notes they've written

Soon they'll head back west for summer

I'll be gone by their return, hanging daisies on

Whatever door I next call mine

A lesson learned in taking time

John and Cece make it look easy

Pack in the wagon and drive to the beach and

Out where the sea sways to meet the horizon

The same glisten they find in each other's eyes and think

Isn't this something

Isn't this paradise

All we need's this sunset and guitar

The height of luxury is sitting where we are
